ROGER & RACHAEL JUST MADE FRENCH RIVER HISTORY!

Roger put in the work and landed a magnificent 42-inch French River Muskie. A big thumbs up and smile of a woman who knew her husband had it in him all along!

Their first muskie together! This is what Bear's Den is all about.

🎣 PERSONAL BEST ALERT! 💥🏆
Alec Braithwaite just landed the BIGGEST Smallmouth Bass of his life on the French River; a chunky 3-pounder that put up a fight worth every second! That smile? That's the smile of a man who just rewrote his personal record book. 😁
The French River keeps delivering and we are HERE for it!

4 French River Muskies in as many days and a big pike too!

​Phil K. put on an absolute clinic on the water!

Landing the "fish of 10,000 casts" four days in a row is the kind of legendary run anglers dream about. From net shots to incredible releases, this was a week for the books at Bear’s Den Lodge.

​Drop some congratulations for Phil in the comments below! 👇

First trips are always special, but Dave Duppstadt made his first Canadian fishing adventure one for the books! 🇨🇦

​From landing quality bass, walleye, and northern pike to soaking in the stunning Northern Ontario scenery, Dave definitely got the full Bear’s Den Lodge experience. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of reeling in great fish on pristine waters for the very first time.

​Help us congratulate Dave on a successful maiden voyage north! Who’s ready to make their own Canadian fishing memories with us? 👇

Lightning strikes twice on the French River!

Phil Krute raised the bar earlier this week with his 42-inch Muskie... and then went right ahead and topped it! Phil proved lightening can hit the same spot twice by landing another magnificent French River Muskie before the week was even out.

Two trophy muskies in a single trip is no easy feat on these waters, but Phil makes it look effortless. Major congratulations on an unforgettable run on the water, Phil! 🏆

Who’s feeling inspired to get out on the water this weekend? Let’s hear your favorite French River fishing memories below! 👇

Some days on the water are just magic.

Darlene Harendeen had one of those days. A stunning 28-inch Walleye, golden morning light, and the gorgeous French River all to herself. That calm, confident smile says everything about what kind of angler she is.
Darlene, this is YOUR moment. Beautifully caught and beautifully released. The French River was lucky to have you.
